8/10 Good
"The receptionist was lovely and we felt very welcomed and informed on arrival. We stayed in a superior room with sea view, the room was clean but could do with a few extras to make it feel more comfortable. For example a headboard for the bed, a higher table for the chairs so that you could eat at and a small fridge would have been useful. Overall, we had a lovely stay, brilliant sea views, location was lovely and a short walk along the sea to the town and we would return!"
